Does this mean that it says "monitor mode enabled"?

If so, try starting your card on the channel that your AP is on. ex:

airmon-ng start rausb0 6

The 6 means your AP is on channel 6.

Also, when it says "monitor mode enabled", is this to the left of rausb0, or rausb1? If this is the case, try
wlanconfig rausb0 destroy
wlanconfig rausb1 destroy
airmon-ng start rausb0
airodump-ng rausb0

If none of these work, the last thing I can think of is:
wlanconfig rausb0 create wlandev *parent wifi here* wlanmode monitor

Hope this helps!

when you

Code:

airmon-ng start rausb0

You are setting up an extension to the main card...The extension is what you want to use in airodump-ng

for example, this is what i type with mine

Code:

//Stop current extension

airmon-ng stop ath0

//change mac
macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 wifi0

//Create an extension
airmon-ng start wifi0

After that, when you see the list and one extension says "(monitor mode enabled)". That is what you use for airodump-ng

for me it would be

Code:

airodump-ng ath0

Not sure if this is an actual question, but the reason for this behaviour would be that you do not destroy the ath0 interface first.
